The latest news story here in New Zealand is about a Tongan family who BBQ'd their pet pitbull because it's normal practice back in Tonga

Someone needs to point out to the silly b*stards that they're not in Tonga

The SPCA is calling for a law change following its investigation into the killing and cooking of a pet dog by a Tongan family in Auckland.

The SPCA is frustrated the practice is not illegal in New Zealand, and adds that people eating their pets happens more than society realises.

The family who barbecued their pet dog say back home in Tonga it's normal, and they didn't realize they were doing anything morally wrong.

Paea Taufa was found roasting his pitbull terrier-cross in an umu pit at his home in Mangere on Saturday.

The dog had been skinned and gutted and was partially charred when SPCA inspectors arrived.

Under the Animal Welfare Act it is legal to kill a dog in New Zealand if the animal is slaughtered swiftly and painlessly.

The SPCA want the animal welfare act updated to ban the practice.
